Yazid III
Yazid ibn Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik or Yazid III (701 - 744) was an Umayyad caliph. He would only reign for six months before dying.
His reign was marked by his defective measures, earning him the title of "The Deficient". Among the most notable was his refusal to pay a raise promised to the Army by al-Walid II. Yazid would be succeeded by his brother Ibrahim.
